“It’s even more unlikely that Big Brother Chengzhi would accept me now that my face is ruined like this! Waah…” Mu Sisi squatted down and cried while hugging her legs together. “It’s unfair, why must God treat me so unfairly? Why did he want to ruin my face?”
“Stop saying that as if the world’s going to end.” Mu Huaisheng’s patience was running out then and he was struggling to contain his temper. “Chutian Hospital is quite renowned for their plastic surgery. I’ve already asked them and they said your scar can be fixed. But as you said, it’s likely that your face can’t be restored to the point where the scar is completely unnoticeable. They’ll do their best to try and make it as close to your normal skin tone as possible. They guarantee that all the cracks from the scar will be gone and it’ll be smooth once again.
“Modern techniques are improving by the day. They used to insert things for plastic surgery, but now they just need to inject some hyaluronic acid to fill it. Who knows, after a few more years, they might be able to remove your scar completely. Almost everyone has some acne scar on their face. Can’t that be covered up using some makeup? Whatever that remains of your scar, why not treat it as acne scars and just apply makeup over it? As for the sunken areas, they’ll just top it up with some hyaluronic acid once it’s fully healed. By then it’ll be completely unnoticeable. What is there for you to shout about and cry for?”
“I…” Mu Sisi began to calm down, but she was still weeping in grief.
He toned down his volume. “Come on, get up. Now’s the time for you to take care of your body. When you were unconscious, I already made arrangements for you. I looked for one of Chutian Hospital’s most renowned plastic surgeons. By the time your scar heals, it’ll probably be your turn already. I’ve spoken with the doctors and the nurses. When they disinfect your injury and reduce the swelling, they’ll do their best to let your wound heal and reduce scarring as much as they possibly can.”
Mu Sisi was helped up by Mu Huaisheng, and surprisingly, she did not look angry at all. Docile and well-behaved, she was carried onto the bed and was left to lie down there.
Mu Huaisheng called the nurse to reattach the IV drip, then got one of the hospital staff to clean the room up.
…
When Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu were having breakfast, Qi Chengzhi received a call from Chu Zhaoyang. He answered, “Okay.”
Once he hung up, he turned to Song Yu and said, “Chu Zhaoyang said that someone smashed Mu Sisi’s head. There’s a big wound on her forehead, but it got infected because she didn’t take care of it properly. Even if the wound heals, there’s a possibility that it will leave behind a big scar. Because of that, she created quite a commotion in the hospital.”
Shocked, Song Yu blinked and asked, “Who was it that was brave enough to lay a hand on Mu Sisi?”
Qi Chengzhi pursed his lips and replied bluntly, “God knows who else she offended. I suppose this time she really messed with the wrong person. Whoever it was, it’s definitely someone who shouldn’t be provoked. I can find out for you if you want to know.”
“Don’t bother. I was just simply asking.” Song Yu had no interest at all in Mu Sisi’s affairs. Mu Sisi’s arrogant attitude, coupled with the fresh scar on her face, must have made Mu Sisi go crazy in the most unimaginable way.
Thus, the couple did not put too much thought on Mu Sisi. Neither of them wanted to be disgusted by her.
After the meal, Qi Chengzhi sent Song Yu to work. Since Song Yu already knew the truth behind her family’s bankruptcy, everything was out in the open and there was no longer any secrecy between the two of them. Qi Chengzhi’s heart felt particularly relaxed, and throughout the journey, he held Song Yu’s hand in an extremely cherishing manner.
His lips could not help but curl up when they were on the road. A relaxed smile was plastered on his face with Qi Chengzhi massaging Song Yu’s hand time and again.
She looked at him, fully aware as to why he was so happy. Turning her hand over to hold him, she too could not resist breaking into a smile.
Qi Chengzhi parked the car at Chengshi and said, “Don’t forget the celebration dinner tonight. I’ll get Chang Lai to bring over your clothes and pick you up.”
With the completion of Qilin’s hotel, the inspection went smoothly as well. Qilin decided to organize a dinner party at Shengyue, and Chengshi was invited to join in the celebration.
Song Yu nodded and kissed Qi Chengzhi before getting off the car. Qi Chengzhi grabbed her waist before her lips broke away from his. He pulled her deeper into his embrace, kissing her lips and stroking them slowly.
After Mu Sisi’s situation had been dealt with the day earlier, no one else disturbed them anymore and there was no longer a barrier between the two of them. Even though both of them knew the truth, they did not know the exact details of what each other knew.
It was only until the previous day that they actually laid everything out in the open. Finally, they were able to feel a burden being lifted off their hearts. Qi Chengzhi hugged Song Yu, but although he was silent, his lips and hands poured out his innermost feelings on her body.
Recalling the things that they did the night before, Song Yu’s face turned very red and she began shivering in his embrace. Being wrapped in his hug allowed her to feel his strength. She never once regarded herself as being the soft type, but that was precisely how she felt when she was enveloped in his arms.
Song Yu pushed him slightly, causing him to loosen up. When Song Yu lowered her head, his lips were directly touching the space between her eyebrows. He kissed her forehead slowly, then began moving outward. Softly and slowly, he kissed her temples, then traveled to the corner of her eyes.
The only thing her nose picked up was his fragrant scent which sent her mind into a frenzy.
Knowing that he was relieved of his worries, he loosened up happily as well.
She looked up slightly and kissed his lower lip gently. “I have to go up now.”
“Mm,” Qi Chengzhi responded, but his hands did not seem to have any intention of letting go.
One of his hands was on her waist, while the other crept slowly down her arm in search of her hand, kneading her while doing so.
“Are you going to let go or not?” Song Yu could not help but ask.
Qi Chengzhi gazed down at her reddened cheek and roaming eyes. How could he let go of her when she looked so affectionate? He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, causing her entire body to feel limp.
“I’m gonna be late,” Song Yu said softly. She felt weird to receive such passion when both of them were married and she was already pregnant with his child.
“Then I’ll wait for you at the office in the afternoon,” Qi Chengzhi remarked, finally willing to let her go.
Song Yu got off, and Qi Chengzhi waited for her to enter the main entrance before leaving.
At noon, Cheng Lai went to the shop and picked up the dress that Song Yu was supposed to wear that night. He later picked Song Yu up and brought her to have lunch with Qi Chengzhi.
After lunch, Qi Chengzhi told Song Yu to stay back and rest on the sofa inside his office.
Song Yu accepted his suggestion delightedly. She set an alarm in her handphone to ring one hour before Qi Chengzhi was due to be done for the day.
In the end, though, she woke up by herself before the alarm could ring. The room was dim and easy on her eyes when she opened them up sleepily. Not a single ray of piercing bright light was present at all.
However, she saw a face as soon as she opened her eyes.
“My goodness, you gave me a fright.” Song Yu punched his shoulder lightly.
Qi Chengzhi was kneeling beside the bed and staring at her as she slept. She did not know how long he had been watching, so when she opened her eyes, she was greeted by an up-close view of his steadily-gazing face.
He sat on the edge of the sofa and bent down to kiss her lips.
“Did I drool in my sleep?” Blushing, Song Yu asked anxiously. She was worried he would see how silly her face looked when saliva seeped out of her mouth as she slept. She felt particularly anxious when he leaned to kiss her since she was worried that he would notice her wet lips.
She touched her lips. They were dry and devoid of any suspicious water stain.
He leaned over, squeezing her as he spooned her on the sofa and pressed her body down slightly.
“How long did you look at me while I slept?” Song Yu’s soft fingers drew circles on his chest.
“I was just about to wake you up, but coincidentally, you woke up as well.” Qi Chengzhi kept a calm face and said.
“…” Song Yu was silent for a moment before finally saying, “As if I’d believe you.”
“When did our trust become so watered down?” Qi Chengzhi cocked a brow and asked.
